  • Highways Department Demand No:20 Policy Note on Roads, Bridges and Shipping 2005-2006
    HIGHWAYS DEPARTMENT DEMAND NO:20 POLICY NOTE ON ROADS, BRIDGES AND SHIPPING 2005-2006 I. INTRODUCTION Development of infrastructure leads to economic growth of a region and improved living conditions of the people. The development of road infrastructure in particular will accelerate the growth in industry, power, road transport and also in social development. Development of a good road network also acts as a catalyst for economic development of the rural areas of the State. The road network of the State influences considerably the economic development, population distribution, the size and shape of cities and towns, energy consumption, access to social infrastructure and above all the quality of life. The government under the dynamic leadership of the Hon’ble Chief Minister does not consider the roads as mere connecting links but as an essential requirement for the over all development of the State. Tamil Nadu has a more extensive road network than most Indian States. The total length of roads in the State is 1,78,062 Km, of which 61,289 Km is managed by the Highways Department. The 61,289 Km of road network comprises 3850 Km of National Highways, 7230 Km of State Highways, 7383 Km of Major District Roads, 41,191 Km of Other District Roads and 1635 Km of Sugar-cane roads. In terms of road density per 100 square Km, the State’s position is commendable that it increased from 29.70 Km in 1951 to the present level of 127.68 Km, which is about 70% more than the national average of 74.73 km per 100 sq.km.

  • URBAN FACTORS and the INTENSITY of HEAT ISLAND in the CITY of CHENNAI Monsingh D
    The seventh International Conference on Urban Climate, 29 June - 3 July 2009, Yokohama, Japan URBAN FACTORS AND THE INTENSITY OF HEAT ISLAND IN THE CITY OF CHENNAI Monsingh D. Devadas*, Lilly Rose A** *Anna University, Chennai, India; **Sathyabama University, Chennai, India Abstract Creation of cities leads to the removal of natural landscape with built up spaces, parking lots, roads etc, through highly reflective materials, affecting the local climate in a dramatic scale. The climatic changes in the urban areas are often characterized by increase in air temperatures and are termed as the Urban Heat Island Effect (UHIE). Major factors contributing to the elevated air temperatures include the size of the city, population, density of built- up spaces, street canyon geometry, thermal properties of materials, vegetation cover and waste heat from buildings. Therefore it is vital for urban designers and urban planners to study the nature of the climate variation trends in urban areas to equip them in planning sustainable and comfortable cities, and mitigate the adverse effects. This paper aims to assess the intensity of urban heat island effect in the city of Chennai and their relationship to various urban factors, through mobile recordings of urban air temperatures during summer and winter. Air temperatures were recorded through a mobile survey covering the major areas of the city in the month of May 2008 (hottest month) and January 2009 (coldest month). The results indicate the existence of heat island effect in the city of Chennai with increasing air temperatures in a radial fashion from the suburbs towards the city centre where the mean max UHI intensity reaches 2.48°C during summer and 3.35°C during winter.

  • Boundary Spanning and Intermediation for Urban Regeneration: Comparative Case Studies from Three Indian Cities
    Boundary Spanning and Intermediation for Urban Regeneration: Comparative Case Studies from Three Indian Cities [Interim Report] Conducted by Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), Mumbai Centre for Policy Research (CPR), New Delhi Madras Institute of Social Sciences (MIDS), Chennai Supported by Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR) New Delhi August 2019 Research Team Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), Mumbai Prof. Amita Bhide (Project Leader) Dean, School of Habitat Studies Dr. Lalitha Kamath Chairperson, Centre for Urban Policy and Governance, School of Habitat Studies Centre for Policy Research (CPR), New Delhi Mukta Naik Fellow Eesha Kunduri Research Associate Madras Institute of Social Sciences (MIDS), Chennai Dr. Karen Coelho Assistant Professor i Executive Summary This research project aims to study how boundaries of various kinds work in structuring, enabling or contesting ground level processes of place-making and regeneration in urban India. It examines how these boundaries are asserted, crossed, dissolved or spanned in local efforts to claim urban resources (land, water, jobs, and services), identities and futures. The study draws on but substantially adapts and expands the concept of ‘boundary spanning’ from ongoing work by Meerkerk and other researchers in Netherlands and other European countries. Taking seven cases in three Indian metros, the project seeks to examine diverse dynamics of boundary-assertion and boundary-spanning as lenses to understand urban politics on the ground. The seven case studies chosen as a theoretical sample to illustrate a range of boundaries that may be involved can be grouped as a) 3 resettlement or relocation sites in the three cities ie Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai b) 2 case studies linked to fishers and their experience of physical boundaries amidst the advent of the growing city c) a case of lake restoration in Chennai and d) boundary spanning efforts of housing finance companies in Delhi.
